Gauge theory of the liquid–glass transition in static and dynamical approaches

Abstract: We propose static and dynamical formulations of the liquid–glass transition theory based on the glass gauge theory and the fluctuation theory of phase transitions. In accordance with the proposed theory, the liquid–glass transition is an unattainable second-order phase transition blocked by a premature critical slowing of the gauge field relaxation caused by the system frustration. We show that the proposed theory qualitatively agrees well with experimental data.

Keywords: liquid–glass transition, nonequilibrium dynamics, gauge field.
